It is no secret that Ashton has had a difficult kindergarten year. He's been in counseling, seen a pediatrician, gone to mental health nurse practitioner. I've been to IEP screening meetings, Behavior Intervention plan meetings, consulted with outside sources to try to help him be more successful at both home and school.
Despite all that, the last few days we have received excellent reports from his teacher!
From last Friday
I wanted to give you an
update from this week. At the beginning of the week Ashton did more
works but still wandered and refused directions. But by the end of the
week Ashton complied with ALL directions (except toward the very end of
the day). He did big works without any breaks. He simply sat and worked.
When I said on Thursday that it was time to restore he actually got
upset because he had just started a work!
From Today
Last week we would review
his visual card of big works and I would ask him if he needed breaks.
This week has been the same. Following most if not all instructions,
completing big works without any breaks or interrupting others. He is
going from work to work seamlessly. The only difference is this week he
has told me he does not need his visuals and he hasn't. He went straight to the reading area
then got right to work. He was so
proud of his work today he asked me to send you a picture of it!
Even today he said to me in the car, "Mommy, I kinda of like school now." Wow, really? Did I hear that correctly? I asked him, "Ashton what changed?". He said, "I just decided to do work!"
I hope we have turned a corner! That would be such an answer to prayer!!!!
